Take some time to remember… really think… about how overwhelming woodworking seemed when you were brand new to the craft. I reflect on that a bit and offer some helpful tips to help brand new woodworkers get some traction in their new hobby. This week we’re also celebrating the arrival of the Festool Kapex to stores all over the US… hooray!
At one point in this episode, I mentioned that Rick’s new podcast is only available on iTunes… that’s not true. You can visit him at the Splintered Board Podcast.

Thanks for some good tips. I had never heard of Kapex before. No, I do not live in a cave. But since I work only with hand tools, I have ZERO interest in anything Festool (or Grizzly, etc.). If there’s an ad, I ignore it. If it’s on a podcast, I tune out.
BTW, I have no clue what a sliding compound miter saw looks like. What’s compound about it? What slides? I don’t know and I don’t care. :^)
Good tips about classes. I took one class and it rocked. Woodcraft’s “Hand Tool Basics and Sharpening.”
